3 Claims.
This invention relates to improvements in fruit peeling machines, and an object of the invention is to provide an improved machine of this character which is of simple and durable construction and efficient in operation, and which will expeditiously remove the peel from the fruit without injury to the latter,
A further important object of the present invention is to provide an improved machineof the 'above character including a peeling cutter, and other cutters operating in advance of and at opposite sides of said peeling cutter for cutting through the peeling in parallel lines so as to define the width of peel removed by the peeling cutter and to insure ready and efficient operation of the peeling cutter in removing a peeling of uniform width.
A further object is to provide an improved machine of this character including a cutter carriage adapted to be swung in one direction during the peeling operation, a sliding cutter head carried by said carriage and spring pressed in one direction for causing the cutter to follow the contour of the fruit being peeled, means to automatically retract the cutter head away from the fruit upon completion of the peeling operation, means to automatically secure the cutter head in such retracted position, means to swing the carriage in the opposite direction at the completion of a peeling operation so as to return the cutter to a position for starting a new peeling operation, and means to automatically release the cutter head upon return of the carriage to starting position for permitting engagement of the cutter with the fruit to be peeled during the next peeling operation.
With the above general objects in view, and others that will become apparent as the nature of the invention is better understood, such invention consists in the novel form, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully of Figure 2.
Figure 4 is a fragmentary vertical section on line 4-4 of Figure l.
Figure 5 isy an elevational view of the knife carrying member of the cutter head; and
Figure 6 is a fragmentary section on line 6--6 of Figure 1.
Referring in detail to the drawings, the illusltrated embodiment of the present invention includes a supporting base of hollow inverted panshape, and rigidly mounted upon such base at opposite ends thereof are standards 6 and 1. The standard 6 is provided at the top with a bearing 8 in which is rotatably and slidably mounted a shaft 9 provided on its inner end with a circular series of radially arranged blades ID adapted to impale one end of the fruit to be peeled. A spring II encircles the shaft 9 between the bearing 8 and the mounting of blades I so as to yieldingly urge the shaft Sinwardly and cause penetration of the blades I0 into the fruit while being maintained in engagement therewith. The standard 6 is provided at the top with spaced bearings I2 in which is journaled a drive shaft I3 provided upon its inner end with a circular series of radially arranged blades I4 adapted to impale the opposite end of the fruit to be peeled. As shafts 9 and I3 are in axial alinement but spaced apart, it will be seen that the fruit may be readily arranged between said shafts and impaled at its opposite end by the blades IIJ and I 4 so as to be effectively supported, as well as rotated upon driving shaft I3. Any suitable means may be vprovided for imparting rotation to shaft I3.
Journaled in the top of base intermediate its ends is a vertical tubular shaft I5 upon the upper end of which is secured the inner end of an arm I6 constituting a swinging cutter carriage whose Weight is partially sustained by an arcuate slotted member Il carried by the base 5 at the rear of the latter, the carriage I6 having a depending boss IB intermediate its ends slidably resting upon the arcuate member I 'I and carrying a bolt I9 extending freely through the slot 20. of arcuate member Il. A nut 2I may be threaded on the lower end of bolt I9 so as to relieve the carriage I6 of any upward strains while permitting free swinging movement of the carriage about an axis concentric with shaft I5.
The standard 6 is also provided with an inwardly projecting arm 22 near its lower end, and this arm has a bearing 23 at its inner end in which is journaled the upper end of a vertical shaft 24 also journaled in and extending through the top of base 5, A segment gear 25 is secured on shaft 24 between arm 22 and the top of base 5, while a bevel gear 26 is secured on the lower end of said shaft 24 with another bevel gear 2'I carried by a horizontal shaft 28 extending longitudinally of and journaled in the ends of base 5.
The carriage I6 is provided at opposite sides with guide flanges 334i` forming a guideway in which is arranged a horizontal member 31 of a cutter head, whereby said cutter head is mounted for sliding movement longitudinally of carriage I 5 and radially of shaft I5 toward and away from the fruit to be peeled when the latter is supported by the blades I5 and i4. The cutter head has a rod arranged longitudinally above its member 31 as at 38, the inner end of rod 38 being attached to an upstanding member 39 of the cutter head and the outer end of rod 38 slidably extending through an upstanding member 49 rigid with4 the outer end of carriage i6. A spring 4I encircles rod 38 between members 39 and 40 so as to yieldingly urge the cutter head inwardly toward the fruit and to cause the cutters of the cutter head, which will presently be described, to follow the contour of the fruit being peeled. The cutter head also includes a knife carrying plate 42 rigidly attached at its lower end to the upstanding member 39 and provided near its upper end portion with a slot 43 through which extends a peeling blade 44. The blade 44 is adjustably mounted at an upward and inward inclination with its upper sharpened end projecting through slot 43 at the inner side of plate 42. The adjustable mounting of blade 42 may consist of a securing screw 45 passing through an elongated slot 46 of said blade and threaded into plate 42below slot 43 and at the outer side of plate 42. Obviously, the upper sharpened end of blade 42 may be adjusted to project the proper distance' j, beyond the inner face of plate 42 for removing ward the upper end of the blade 44 as viewed from the right hand end of the machine.
The cutter head is provided with an inwardly projecting arm 41 at the inner end of its member 31, such arm having a roller 48 engaging the periphery of a cam 49 secured on the upper end of a vertical shaft 58 journaled in and extending through tubular shaft I5. VA relatively large spur gear 5I is secured on the lower end of shaft 50 beneath the top of base 5, and such gear 5I meshes with a spur pinion 52 secured on shaft 30. The arrangement is such that after segment gear 35 has swung the carriage I6 to its extreme left hand position where the peeling operation has been completed, and segment gear 35 has disengaged from gear 36, the cam 49 will actuate the cutter head against the action of spring 4I so as to force said cutter head outwardly and disengage the cutter 44 from the fruit, thereby permitting ready removal of the fruit and insertion of the next fruit to be peeled. AThis occurs before segment gear 25 moves into engagement with gear 35 for returning the carriage to its extreme left hand position for the start of the next peeling operation, and means is provided to automatically latch the carriage in its outwardly moved retracted position. Such latching means consists of a pivoted catch 53 mounted on one side of the carriage I3 as shown more clearly in Figures 1 and 6 and arranged to engage behind the member 39 of the cutter head at one side of the latter when said cutter head is retracted. The member 39 is permitted to pass outwardlyof catch 53 by providing the latter with a bevel nose as at 54, and catch 53 is yieldingly urged to latching position by spring means as at 55. Also, provision is made for automatically releasing catch 53 and permitting the cutter head to move inwardly under the action of spring 4I for engagement of knife 43 with the fruit to be peeled as soon as the carriage returns to its extreme left hand position for the start of a new peeling operation. For this purpose, the base 5 has an upstanding lug 56 arranged in the path of the depending end of catch 53 so as to cause'swinging of the latter against'the action of spring 55 in a directlon to disengage catch 53 from the member 39 of the cutter head upon completion of the swinging movement of carriage I6 to its starting position.
As shown more clearly in Figures 1 to 5 inclusive, a pair of spaced parallel cutter blades 51 are mounted on the plate 42 of the cutter lqlead directly above peeling cutter 44 and slot It will be seen that the blades 51, functioning as described above, enable thepeelingcutter 444 to travel'in a uniform arcV around the fruit, without exerting too much pressure against the flat side of the peel not removed, thus preventing tearing of the peeling, c ongesting of the knife 44, or the leaving of Yragged edges wheren the peeling is removed. Y
In operation, the fruit is rotated upon driving shaft I3, and carriage I6 is swung slowly to theY right by engagement of segment gear 35'with spur gear 36. A strip spiral peeling isv thus re- These cutters 51 are arranged directly atV opposite sides o-f blade 44, but slightly inclined.V
The angle at which the bladesY moved from the fruit when the carriage reaches its right hand position as shown in Figure l, whereupon cam 49 shifts the cutter head outwardly and catch 53 ieleasably holds said cutter head in its outwardly shifted position. Segment gear 25 then drives spur gear 35 for swinging the carriage l5 to the left back to the start of the peeling operation, catch 53 being released by lug 56 upon completing the swinging movement of carriage IB to the left. Naturally, when catch 53 is released the next fruit to be peeled will have been positioned so that the knife 4liwill engage the fruit when the cutter head is again shifted inwardly by spring 4l. When segment gear again engages spur gear 36 carriage i6 is again swung to the right for carrying out the next peeling operation, and this cycle of operation is repeated each time a new fruit is peeled. It will be seen that the present invention provides a very eiiicient machine capable of meeting with all of the requirement for a successful commercial use.' Obviously, minor changes in details of construction illustrated and described may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed.
What we claim as new is:
1. A peeling machine including means for holding the article to be peeled, a swinging carriage, means for rotating the article, means for automatically swinging the carriage back and forth with an interval of rest between the arrival of the carriage to its extreme position in one direction and movement of the carriage in the opposite direction, a cutter mounted on the carriage and movable therewith, yieldable means urging the cutter toward the article, positively driven means acting against said yieldable means to automatically shift the cutter away from the article duringsaid period of rest, means to automatically releasably latch the cutter in such shifted position, and means to automatically release the latching means upon approach of the carriage to its eXtreme position in the other direction.
